[quote=Anonymous]DH and I have been married for just less than a year. I have 3 children from a previous marriage, a 7 year old and twin 4 year olds.  He has two from a previous marriage as well, ages  10 and 12.  We’ve aligned our custody schedules so we have all 5 kids during the same week to reinforce the new normal and solidify the family unit.

His kids have no patience for doing activities my twins enjoy, and DH seems fine with having me take my younger kids out by myself while he’s at soccer/baseball practice and games with his kids instead of reinforcing our new family as a whole.  His oldest has recently started disrespecting me and threatening to tell my children inappropriate and misleading information about my relationship with DH, which I’m sure he is getting from his mother.  DH says he will address it, but I’m not seeing any improvement.  I’m at the point where I want us to go to a therapist for blended families, but DH is resistant because his kids just finished over a year of therapy related to the divorce and he doesn’t want them going right back in.  He says we all need time to adjust, but I suspect his ex is refusing to allow it.  She is extremely controlling and only communicates with him through an app, she doesn't respond to his texts or emails.  Any suggestions from people who have been through this?
